“This work demonstrates a novel approach towards realising monolithically grown white light lasers using III-nitride material. The small size and the simplicity of the micro-disk structure, which can simultaneously support number of high-Q resonances, makes this approach very attractive for potential applications.” Dr Modestos Athanasiou, Research Associate

The applications include full colour high definition displays, next generation vehicle headlighting, biosensors, visible light communications or even lighting.
